So you are using ispCP Omega to host Domains/Webspace and are looking for a simple offsite backup via FTP for the backup files  created by ispCP?

Well, at least I was and I couldn't find one which fitted my needs, so I decided to hack one by myself.

The script requires nothing but Python by using the Python ftplib

 

I am currently testing version 1.0 myself, so be a bit careful with v1.0!

After reading a request on the NAMD mailinglist for a tool which works simmilar to "CatDCD" but on NAMD "Collective Variable-based Calculations (colvars)" trajectories I ramped up my little python script to make it usable by other.

ONE NOTE:
The first trajectory contains frame zero which my script considers. So the first trajectory always has one more frame then the consecutive trajectory files for my script.
All other trajectory files from consecutive runs repeat the last frame of the previous run which my file strips.
So if your runs have 100 frames the colvar trajectories will have 101 frames. In the first trajectory contains frame 0 to 100. This additional frame here is frame 0.
The second trajectory contains the frames 100 to 201. The additional frame here is frame 100 which is a "carry-over" from the first trajectory.

Coding style is "Get it done" - so don't complain, submitt patches ;-)

I recently wanted to check a website for new links which match a REGEX on a regular basis and for convenience receive the result via Mail.

Thanks to Python it took me just some minutes to hack this little script together to monitor a website for new Links matching a REGEX.

Thats it. I'll no longer use the proprietary chat client SKYPE after 31.05.2011.
Anyone who wants to contact me can do this via the free and open XMPP (Jabber) protocol.

Use Pidgin, Google Talk or any other XMPP capable clients.

My XMPP ID is "contactme[at]olausson[dot]de" or "spamsuxx[at]jabber[dot]org"

www2sms v1.3.0 is out since a few weeks now.

Besides some bug-fixes it now supports some more providers and has an on-line update function for the providers module.
This new feature makes it possible to react faster to changes on the provider side.
To reduce the chance of compromising the archive it is signed with my GPG key and www2sms only accepts the file if the signature is valid.

Version 1.1.2 supports the following providers:

o2 (DE) Vodafone (NL) Exetel (AU) Telbo VodafoneSMS (CZ)

Exetel (AT) MutluSMS (TU) VoipBusterPro Arcor (DE) 160by2

The latest provider module can be downloaded from here:

P.S.:
Please vote for www2sms so it finds it way into the maemo-extras repository

Qualcom GOBI 2000 UMTS/GPS 3G modem with Gentoo (ThinkPad W510)

I'll just shortly summarize my steps (15 overall) to get the Qualcom GOBI 2000 UMTS/3G/GPS modem in my Lenovo Thinkpad W510 up and running.

 

1. Stock 2.6.38.4 Kernel with CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_WWAN=m, CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_QCAUX=m, CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_QUALCOMM=m, CONFIG_PPP=y, CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK=y, CONFIG_PPP_FILTER=y, CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=y, CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=y, CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=y, CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=y, CONFIG_PPP_MPPE=y, CONFIG_PPPOE=y
   (modules will be called usb_wwan, qcaux, qcserial)
2. Add "usb_wwan" to /etc/conf.d/modules
3. # modprobe qcserial
   (or reboot)
4. USE-flags for net-dialup/ppp: activefilter, dhcp, eap-tls,gtk, pam, -atm, -ipv6, -mppe-mppc, -radius
5. # emerge -av net-wireless/gobi_loader net-dialup/ppp
6. Snag the firmware files from a windows installation (/mnt/win/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/QUALCOMM/Images/Lenovo/) and copy them to "/lib/firmware/gobi/"
   (I just copied all files and indicated the origin in the file name with the originating Dir a MD5SUM and the provider they are intended for. See list below - klick "Read more...")
7. Link the desired firmware files to UQCN.mbn, amss.mbn and apps.mbn (gobi_loader will only load exactly these file names)
